Debug output in Java?

[JimiK]

As you might know, there is this tool from "sysinternals" where you can capture debug output, called "debugview". XviD for example is a project that outputs debuginfo. Now I'm wondering if there is a way to let Java output debuginfo. Up till now I'm always using stdout and have to comment out the output afterwards.
Best regards,

You can write to System.err instead of System.out if you want. A better solution for logging/debugging is to use log4j http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/ or the java logging api from jdk1.4+ which allows very configurable logging information.
